gion, the Lowland Region, Higher Wooded Region, Wet Mountain Re-
gion, and Dry Mountain Region)-

' Jvdes Remy distinguishes five zones thus : Littoral, Tropical (from the base
of the liills to tlie forests), Forest, Mountainous or Subalpine, and Alpine.
The absence of anything like an Alpine region will be evident on inspection of
the above lists.—W. T. B.
